I love a good salad, the crunch from the lettuce, the tang from the dressing, and the hidden surprises of things like chewy cranberries and juicy oranges.

The only real problem that I have with salads is that they don't contain carbs.

I know, you're asking yourself why that is so important... Well, guys...

I'm a carboholic...

I love carbs, they are what I crave all day long and without them a meal just doesn't feel like a meal, it's simply incomplete.

A dinner without bread, pasta or rice feels like a book with no end, a joke without the punch line, it's just...not right.

And sure, you can add some croutons to your salad, or throw a side of bread next to it, but come on! We can do better than that!!

What about taking that delicious salad and wrapping it in a tortilla, giving it transportability, a fun factor and most importantly making it a real meal.

I'm a genius!! (Yes, I understand I'm not the first one to think of this concept, just let me have my moment!)

RECIPE:

Dressing:

4 Garlic Cloves

2 tsp Anchovy Paste

¾ cup cubed Parmesan

2 Egg Yolks

2-3 Lemons, juice

½ tsp Salt

¼ tsp Pepper

2Tbs Mayo

¼ cup Olive Oil

Put all ingredients in a food processor except olive oil. Once everything is semi-pureed stream in olive oil.

Wrap:

4-5 cups Romaine Lettuce, chopped into 1inch pieces

3/4 cup Jicama, chopped into ½ inch pieces

2 small/medium grilled chicken breasts, chopped into ½-1inch pieces

3/4 cup dressing

10 shaves of Parmesan

3/4 cup croutons, chopped into ½ inch pieces

6 large tortillas

Combine all ingredients except tortillas in a large bowl. Toss until everything is well distributed and the dressing covers everything evenly. Take about 1.5cups of mixture and place in the center of a tortilla. Roll up like a burrito and serve!

Notes:

The Jicama adds a nice crunch, you could skip it or add thinly sliced radishes or apples instead

Chop everything SMALL, the smaller the better so that it all stays in the wrap and you get a little bit of everything with each bite!

Warm tortillas slightly by covering with a damp paper towel and microwaving for 15-30 seconds. The warmer they are the more pliable they will be.
